Eugene Fowler

Eugene Fowler of Fredericton passed away peacefully on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the age of 80. Gene was born on July 30, 1942, to the late Eugene Sr. and Zola Fowler (Black) in Holtville, New Brunswick. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Sharon (Lowe), his son, Rob Fowler (Eva Shimaoka), daughter, Angela Fowler (Ben Kennedy), sisters, Eleanor McLaughlin, Dorothy Fowler (Carney Flynn) and sister-in-law, Judy Wilson.

Gene was a doting grandfather to Matthew Fowler, Zoe and Kavina Kennedy. He will be missed by niece Krista Amos and grandnieces, Olivia and Avery; niece, Kelly Dabrowski (Ken), grandnephew, Charlie and grandniece, Stella; nephews Trevor Perry (Stephanie), Derek Wilson (Patricia Small), Mike McLaughlin, and Rod Wilson Jr. (Tracy Miersch), grandnephews, Jackson, Marcus and Jarrod. Gene was predeceased by brother-in-law, Rodney Wilson and sister-in-law, Linda Lowe of St. Stephen, who was a dear and generous friend to him.

Gene will be fondly remembered as a man of very few words, an unparalleled work ethic and possessing an incredibly generous heart. Growing up in central New Brunswick, he worked on family farms, cut timber, and hunted and fished on the Miramichi. Upon high school graduation, Gene became a civil engineering technician at ADI Limited in Fredericton and subsequently, was a founding member of Gemtec Limited where he enjoyed a long career with cherished colleagues.

Eugene loved working in the outdoors – cutting the trees that became the lumber he used to build his family’s first home – and enjoyed a lifetime of tending to his garden and grounds.  Gene always had a warm pot of tea on the go. He loved a good card game. In retirement, he provided his family and friends with an unending supply of home-made strawberry jam. Gene was happiest when surrounded by his family and loved to watch his grandkids, nieces and nephews compete across various sports during their childhood.

At Gene’s request, and befitting someone who wanted no fuss over himself, there will be no formal memorial service or visitation. However, we are certain that Gene would be honored by donations to a charity of the donor’s choice or the Dr. Everett Chalmers Foundation palliative care designated fund (chalmersfoundation.com/donate).

    So saddened to hear of Gene’s passing. He was such a great neighbour and friend. Mike really enjoyed their friendship and chats too. I’m so sorry of your loss and that I didn’t maintain connections after moving downtown. Life gets busy but no excuse. Every time that I drove by to visit my son and family, I looked over and thought of him fondly. However, it seems like I was always on a timeline…….again no excuse. I could of still made another trip “up the hill” “way” downtown. Take care and biggest hugs

    Sharon, Rob, Angela and family,
    We are saddened to hear of Eugenes passing. Eugene had a big impact on so many of us during the early days of Gemtec. I personally recall starting here many years ago and working with Gene (as we called him) on many field assignments. Although he was known as being a man of few words, we never ran out of things to talk about, especially when travelling through the Miramichi. It was very obvious to me that Gene’s family was always top of mind for him. Gene was a modest man with many skills who always treated people with due respect. He helped many of us learn the ropes around here. I will always be grateful for having known Eugene. Please accept my sincere condolences.
